Lips are dressed in a sheer veil of brilliant color. Boosted with fruit extract rich in vitamins and antioxidants, lips become deliciously sensual. The ultra-light, sensual texture leaves lips feeling soft and hydrated for up to 8 hours and is ideal for year round use: the juicy, sheer color is perfect for summer while the soothing, moisturizing texture feels sublime in the dry winter months.

Liza L: I really liked the deep reds that they had as colors.Feb 1, 2015

Whitney P: It is perfect for my olive skin tone, goes on smoothly, has the perfect amount of tint, doesn't show when I get a bit outside of my lip line--so I don't need a mirror for application--and it moisturizers.Jan 26, 2015

J E: I like it has vitamins to moisturize my lips in the winterOct 24, 2014

Rosie S O: I just purchased one of these last week, and it feels amazing on my lips. It really does not add much color at all, which is great for me. I just needed a top quality lip moisturizer. This is an elegant treat!Sep 29, 2014

Susan W: I initially purchased this item in La Jolla and immediately fell in love with it and the compliments that followed. However, I ran out of it, and every store in Dallas was out of it. It's wonderful to be able to go directly to the source where it was no problem to solve the problem. Thank you!!!Aug 22, 2013

Doreen L: I PURCHASED THE FIRST ONE ON THE WEEKEND ON THE COLOR #4 AND I LOVE THE QUALITY OF THE PRODUCT. ITS SUPER CREAMY AND EASY TO APPLY. I AM FAIR SKIN AND IT JUST GIVE YOU THE PERFECT COLOR AFTER YOU APPLY IT AND IT LAST A LONG TIME! I DECIDED TO GET ANOTHER COLOR BECAUSE I WAS SUPPER IMPRESSED WITH THE RESULTS AFTER I HAD DONE A LOT OF RESEARCH BEFORE PURCHASING THE PRODUCT SINCE ITS PRICEY. DEFINITELY RECOMMEND IT !!Aug 5, 2013

KANDACE H: Recently, I purchased Sheer Candy, No. 12, I absolutely love it. I am more of an "outdoorsy" girl so don't used much makeup except for special occasions. This lipstick is light and creamy to wear. It fits my lifestyle so I bought three more colors . . . just in case YSL decides to discontinue this lipstick style.Jul 18, 2013

Diane L: I really love the way this feels on my lips. It goes on like silk and lasts for a long while. I love that it doesn't shout color but only gives a hint of it. It is my favorite lip gloss.Nov 18, 2012

Songming H: I saw it on youtube and in sephora, it looks so pretty!Apr 27, 2012

Ho Suet P: I love the hydration feeling. I use to have tons of slightly colored lipbalm, when I try on this Sheer Candy today, I fell in love with it. But it was out of stock in store, that's why I purchased it online.Mar 17, 2012

Diane R:It does not. It has moisturizing properties, but no SPF ingredients that I am aware of. This might be a good topper to use over a more substantial lipstick that does offer UV protection if that is important to you.Oct 10, 2012

Bonnie C:Hello shopper, I do not know if this has ..UV protection or not. I think that YSL would know the answer. Maybe, some how you could contact them to find your answer. Or, you could find a store and call them to ask about it. I do know that I really love the YSL COSMETICS! I have worn this color many times, and I do really like it! I have other colors of theirs, that I love too! Good luck in finding your answer to your question, in the meantime enjoy wearing it.Oct 10, 2012

Margaret W:Dear Naperville,Since Naperville is the fifth largest city in Illinois next to Chicago,I would think you could buy Volupte Sheer Candy in one of your shopping centers. Perhaps a high end department store or Sephora, or Ulta. I know you can get it on Amazon. I buy Yves St. Laurent from there all the time. You will love Volupte, all Yves products are magnifique!Organic FashionistaJul 29, 2012

Margaret W:Dear Ronnie P.,I did not get this color, though it looks fabulous. If it has a golden base it probably would look lovely on you. If you have never tried Volupte' Sheer Candy before, I must tell you that it is dreamy rich and smells wonderful. It is fantastic, you feel like you could eat it! I think I will try this color. I am light olive with undertones of gold and blue. Wow, I sound like an alien. Good luck, with Volupte Sheer Candy I don't think you could go wrong with any color.Margaret (Organic Fashionista)May 29, 2012

A wonderful product! It is very sheer so you can easily control the amount of color. It goes on like a lipstick, but shows like a colored/tinted balm, not very high sheen like traditional glosses, but that's part of what I like about it. It is moisturizing, but I think as with any lipcolor it can at some point not be as moisturizing as a lip treatment, so I would suggest a light balm underneath. The smell in the tube is very appealing also and I'm not heavy on smells because I get migraines; even with the scent, its not one that lingers on your lips so that's an added benefit and you don't feel like a kid walking around with scented lips. The color I have is mouthwatering berry. The only reason I gave it 4 stars is because I would like them to add 1 additional color-something like a black berry/ black honey color that has a bit less red in it and possibly more of a plum or even brown to it, otherwise, this is an awesome and well worth the purchase product. I'm very well pleased with this and will purchase again in the future-all year round. This has become my new staple lip product.

I have these in 2(dewy papaya) and 3(juicy grapefruit). I bought these two specifically because I wanted to make sure I like the textures since they are pretty sheer and clear. It was love at first swipe. I can't wait to get my hands on a few more (sheer colored one)!!

Dorothy DeMaria

Sheer and lightweight. My favorite thing about this product is it has no odor or flavor. If you want a little more color wear it over a lip liner. It's basically a gloss without the sticky feeling and the case is beautiful.

Very good product. Moisturizes very well. I accidentally bought a lighter color than I planned, but it is still great. Makes my lips feel moisturized and light. I highly recommend it. Hope even more colors will become available soon.

nicole emers

I love this product!! It's so comfortable to wear and lasts a lot longer than most lipsticks/glosses of it's kind. Goes on so smooth, definitely hydrates and just feels wonderful.
Only problem is the limited amount of shades, YSL Please add more ASAP!!!!!

patricia arellano

This sheer candy balm & the pure chromatic eyeshadows are my favorite! I absolutely adore, love, & worship this product. Love the way it feels & the color. I Long time wear, nourishing, smooth, great color payoff. I am naturally tan (constantly asked if I'm from India) & the fact that I can wear these colors & have look amazing is absolutely wonderful. BUY IT! I've been working for YSL for one month, & this is the lip product I love most.
